But that's not the end of it. As your
body of work
expands, so my experience of
transformation
expands. And as my experience of
transformation
expands, so does my ability to direct
questions
to an ever more profound experience, expand. It's arguably in the
latter sense that there'll never be an end - ever - to
these
Questions For A Friend.

With all that said, here's my current tenth set of ten
Questions For A Friend
for you, inspired by you and your
brilliantbody of work,
such as it is now at this one particular moment in
time.
It took me ten days to come up with these ten
questions,
informed by your receptivity to me asking them. Thank You for the
privilege.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see you being replaced any
time
soon - not even in the
next
hundred years or more. On the other hand, what may also be
true
is you've so successfully
empowered
the
breakthrough
that is
transformation
(as far as any one individual can possibly
empower
it) as to allow it to be ongoingly
empowered
from now on by
ordinary
people not necessarily having the same high profile as you.

Second question:

"It's often said no one is irreplaceable. In the
work of
transformation,
you're arguably irreplaceable. When you look to your
legacy,
does a successor occur for you?"

There's likely not one single person of good will anywhere who
doesn't envision global
transformation
(ie whatever their picture of it may be) in place on
our planet.
It's a vision which informs and drives and defines the possibility
of many different groups and organizations of diverse scope and
application who now all see global
transformation
not only as possible but also as within reach. What
moves
me is noticing how many of these groups and organizations trace the
inspiration for their vision of global
transformation
directly back to you. It's staggering.

Sixth question:

"Countless individuals have realized the purpose of
your work
in their lives, as have couples,
families,
groups,
businesses,
communities, and organizations. What's your vision of what
the world
looks like when it's realized globally?"

I'm envisioning that as long as there are
human beings
on
the planet,
the work of
transformation
will go on. Each of us, on the other hand, will eventually
die,
and when that
happens,
there'll most likely still be items left incomplete on our to do
lists. Do you envision leaving such an incomplete list? Or do you
have a mechanism in place for getting it all done before then?

Tenth question:

"Do you envision
getting
everything done you say you
intend
to
get
done? Do you envision a
time
when you'll declare 'It (ie
my work)
is finished!'?"

What I'm
clear
about in asking you these ten
questions
in this current tenth
Questions For A Friend
trilogy (and in all these trilogies) is that the secondary value in
asking them is
getting
your
answers
to these
questions
I (and, I assume, many of us) have always wanted to ask you. The
primary value however is to interact with you being
complete.
And as much as we prize it and covet it, it's a rare opportunity to
experience being
complete
in a
relationship.
In being
complete
in a
relationship,
what we
speak
and what we
listen
(and in our case, whatever's asked and whatever's
answered)
is really just the great
game
we
play
in the
space
of being
complete.
